Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53597&edit=1 ID: 53597 User updated by: hsk at fli-leibniz dot de Reported by: hsk at fli-leibniz dot de Summary: open_basedir not working as documented Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Safe Mode/open_basedir Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.4 Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: ahhh, a bug once documented is a feature :-) please reopen this case it's not the documentation that should be changed but the php code so that php again has the behaviour it had ever since as things are now they introduce an incompatible change to php: the setting open_basedir=/u/phpMyAdmin no longer allows to access e.g. /u/phpMyAdmin-3.3.9-all-languages/index.php maybe http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/main/fopen_wrappers.c?r1=305098&r2=305698 causes the problems described?

Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-12 17:25:07] chroom dot chroom at gmail dot com 1 >> I confirm: open_basedir does not act as prefix I experience the same problem with an earlier version: PHP 5.3.2 (API 20090626) on 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04. 2 >> A new case: open_basedir ending with a slash blocks PHP Another problem with the same config option is: path ending with a slash practically blocks PHP in an annoying way. With open_basedir set to "/var/www/" it is expected to be able to serve files from this directory, but it doesn't work. This is not only different from the docs, this is nonsense. It's the behaviour that should be changed, not only the docs. So please change the bug status. This excerpt from errorlog documents this absurd: PHP Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/ www/bits.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/) in Unknown on line 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-10 16:31:14] pajoye@php.net Docs need to be updated but that won't change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-10 16:31:11] pajoye@php.net Docs need to be updated but that won't change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
